Gingerbread Flavored Granola

This recipe makes 10 cups of granola.

Ingredients
6 cups regular rolled oats uncooked
4 cups raw nuts in bite-sized pieces (walnuts or pecans, etc)
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground clove
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup molasses
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
3 cups dried cranberries

Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 F

Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper

Using a wooden spoon, combine the oats, nuts, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove in a large bowl, until spices are evenly distributed.

Whisk together oil, molasses, vanilla, and salt.

Pour wet ingredients into dry, and stir until everything is evenly distributed.

Divide the mix evenly between the two baking sheets.  Spread out the mix over the whole baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes.  Take out and stir and spread the mixture.

If top rack browns faster than the bottom rack, switch the sheets.  Bake for 10 minutes. Take out and stir and spread the mixture.

Bake for 5 minutes or until desired brown color.

Divide the cranberries evenly between baking sheet and stir into granola.  Spread the mixture one last time to cool.

Store cooled granola in air-tight containers for up to 2 weeks.
